for about 50 points more you can drop the air3 and boost the earth up to 9. That provides more than adequate missile protection(18 prot unequipped and dosnt require buffs) and in most cases melee protection due to petrification and also gives you a nice bless for your centaurs.

If you start with no astral you should plan to have plenty by midgame.

The race i have played the most especially against human players is ulm. But I use the ghost king pretender, and i give him 4 nature, 3 air, 2 astral, 5 death, 2 water. I also sleep him, and take 2 cold, so i can also take 3 order, prod, and 1 growth.

So even playing ulm i get access to most gems. And, of course, you get gems of people you kill off as well. I typically research 3 enchantment, 6 construction, 5 conjuration. Then i crank out 2-3 bane lords, give them pendant luck, fire brand, charcoal shield, boots quickness, ring regen, marble armor and horror helmet. this makes them
deadly solo, but even more so when mixed in with black knights, and ulm crossbow men, so they will not be sole focus of smites and enemy spells.

I also try have at least 2 troll king courts up, with the troll kings having plus 1 earth boots and 3 revig items, and some zero encumbering chest item.. I script them summon earthpower, invulnerability, cast spells. They can wipe out lightly armored troops with blade wind.

I may be wrong on this, but I think you are wasting a slot on your Banelord SCs by putting a ring of regeneration on them. If they are Undead, I don't think they get the regeneration effect.

Common misconception. Lifeless do not regenerate. Undeads can. However, many of the "chaff" undeads are lifeless as well.

Aye mistake on my part. I mistakenly thought a wraithlord SC I had could not get regeneration in a MP game I just wrapped up, and in reality it was a golem. And since I thought the wraithlord could not get it, I thought the banelord could not as well, but I was wrong on both accounts!
